Lab Report Using Sciccor Leaves

Decent Essays

Experiment 1 (Assignment 3): Using sciccors, leaves from the Geranium plant were cut (Plant A was the bigger leaf and Plant B was the smaller leaf). Then begin to heat up the hot plate to boiling temperature of 100℃. Next one beaker was filled with ⅔ of water and another beaker was filled with ⅓ alcohol. Place the beaker of water onto the hot plate until boiling. To speed up the boiling process put boiling chips into the beaker. Then put Plant A (the leaf exposed to air) into the boiling water for 3-5 minutes. After time is up, using tongs, place Plant A directly into the alcohol solution for another 3-5 minutes. When time is up, take out Plant A and place it into a clean petri dish. Once the plant is properly placed, cover the leaf completely …show more content…

Wait, another 3 minutes. While waiting for Plant A to soak, proceed to put Plant B (the leaf exposed to no air through soda lime) into the same beaker of boiling water. Once time is up for Plant A, rinse the leaf with water and place leaf off to the side. Next, grab tongs and place Plant B directly into the beaker with alcohol solution (Making sure to grab new alcohol into the beaker and not using the same solution from Plant A). Wait, another 3- 5 minutes. Once time is up place Plant B, using tongs, into the petri dish and completely cover the leaf in iodine solution. Wait 3 minutes. Then rinse off the leaf and compare the coloration with Plant A. Record …show more content…

Next, add enough bromothymol blue solution to each test tube until the water is blue. Next, using a straw, blow into the four test tubes until the color blue turns to the color of a yellowish/green. Then cut a sprig of Elodea from the plant and place one sprig into each of the four test tubes. Then the test tubes were sealed with a stopper. Two of the test tubes will be labeled light and placed into sunlight for about 2 hours. Then the other two test tubes will be placed into complete darkness for about 2 hours. After time is up, record the color of the solution from the four test tubes (Gunstream,
